Cheap painters in Melbourne

The price of a paint job depends most on the preparation, the height and the size of the house. Get at least three written quotes from painters in Melbourne and compare what each one includes.

• Ask if the quote covers preparation, primer, two top coats and any scaffolding.
• Ask for a price per room or per job, not only an hourly rate.
• Move furniture and clear plants away from the walls yourself.

House painters across Melbourne

Melbourne has one of the widest mixes of housing in Australia. Inner suburbs like Fitzroy, Carlton, Richmond and North Melbourne are full of Victorian terraces and workers' cottages. Federation villas and Californian bungalows fill Malvern, Brunswick, Preston and Essendon. Further out, postwar weatherboard and cream brick homes give way to 1970s brick veneer and new estates in Point Cook, Mernda and Pakenham.

The weather is famous for changing fast. Summer brings hot northerly winds and strong UV, while winters are cool, grey and damp, with frosts in the outer east and north. The bayside suburbs from Port Melbourne to Mornington also get salt air, which is hard on timber trims and metal.

Heritage overlays cover many inner and middle ring streets, so check with your council before changing exterior colours. Older homes often have lead paint in the lower layers, which needs safe preparation. Reactive clay soils in the east and west can crack render and plaster, so a good painter fills and seals cracks before the topcoat.
